Never immerse the
control unit, the
heating element, or
the power cable in
water or any other
liquid.
Never plug in the
deep fryer without
oil or fat inside.
Do not mix different
types of oils.
The oil level must
always be between
the Min. and Max.
markers. Check this
each time before
cooking, and add
some of the same
type of oil if
necessary.
Preparation for use
Before using your deep fryer
for the first time
• Completely unfold the basket handle; a
click indicates that it is correctly
positioned.
• Remove the control unit and the bowl.
• Clean the lid, the bowl and the frying
basket with a damp cloth and washingup liquid. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Clean the other components of the fryer
with a damp cloth.
Filling the bowl
• For best results we recommend blended
vegetable oil. For sunflower oil,
groundnut oil, or soya oil ensure the oil
is changed after every 5 uses.
• If you use solid vegetable fat:
- Cut into small pieces, melt in a
separate pan and pour the melted fat
into the fryer bowl.
- When remelting solidified fat, break up
the surface with a fork to prevent
splashes. Take care not to damage the
heating element or temperature
sensors.
- Never exceed 150°C to melt it, then
follow the manufacturer’s cooking
instructions.
• Lard or dripping should NOT be used
under any circumstances and may
cause overflowing, smoking or risk of
fire. For traditional UK style deep fried
foods, especially chips, we do not
recommend using olive oil.

it is fitted with a metallic filter and a
window.
Preparing the basket

overfill the basket. Never exceed the
basket maximum filling level.
!

The steam coming
from the filter is
extremely hot ; so
are the window and
the metallic parts .
Caution: never place
your hand or your
face over the lid.
Never remove the
bowl while the deep
fryer is switched on.
To prepare several
helpings of fresh
chips, prepare the
desired quantity at
160 °C, then fry at
190 °C just before
serving.
When you take off
the lid, never drain it
over the oil.
Never move your
deep fryer with hot
oil inside.
If the fryer contains
fat, allow the fat to
solidify in the fryer
and store it with the
fat inside.
Add salt and pepper
away from the deep
fryer to avoid getting
in the oil.
Keep an eye on the
cooking
• During cooking, it is normal for the
temperature indicator light to go on and
go off during cooking.
• Always double fry freshly made chips .
- a first fry for 8 to 10 minutes at 160 °C
- a second fry for 2 to 4 minutes at 190 °C
- frozen chips are pre-cooked, you may
be able to fry them just once,
depending on the instructions on the
packet.
Removing the food
• Lift the frying basket out of the oil and
rest it on the rim of the bowl.
• Let it drain for a few seconds.
• Take the basket away from the fryer.
• Serve.
Switching off the deep
fryer
• When you have finished frying, set the
temperature control to the lowest
setting and the power switch to the OFF
position.
• Unplug the deep fryer.
• Leave the deep fryer to cool completely
(1 to 2 hours).
• Store the power cord in the cord
storage.
• Use only the carrying handles to move
the deep fryer.

Cooking
Cooking tables
The cooking times are a guide only. They could vary depending on quantity, taste,
electricity supply etc...
Always fry freshly made chips twice.
- a first fry at 160 °C
- a second fry at 190 °C
For the crispiest results, dry food items thoroughly before frying, especially freshly made
chipped potatoes.
Large pieces of chicken or large chips need a longer cooking time.
Set the temperature control according to the table above, or follow the instructions on food
packaging.
Cooks tips : When cooking battered food and doughnuts, remove the wire basket to prevent food
sticking to it. Take great care when handling the food and use tongs. Gradually place the food in
the hot oil, submerging it an inch at a time to prevent it from sinking straight away.
